Default Super Kaos Questions

I recently acquired a Great Planes Super Kaos .60 size kit MIB still has the 1984 great Planes catalog in it, I have a few questions about some mods on this kit

1. Anything to look out for ??
2. What would be the best way to put aileron servos in the wing for dual servos?
3 What are the weak points that I may need to reinforce??
4 How do I mount wing servos so that only the servo arm is exposed?

Thanks for the help

Terry.. I built a Super Kaos with an RJL .61 years ago...great airplane. No problems with the kit. It is a quality design as is. Build it stock and forget the dual wing mounted servos. It will perform as intended with good standard servos in the configuration shown on the plans.

Default Kaos

Thanks for the input and advice, Sorry the kit is not for sale, I am building this one because in 1968 Joe Bridi taught me to fly and it has a certain nostalgia for me. I have several of Joe's kits on the shelf and plan on just keeping them that way for a while, may sell eventually but not right now

I'm not sure how different they are from the GP line. I would like to think they are equal (maybe even better)

Default Super Kaos Questions

There is nothing on this plane that needs to be improved, or changed. Dual aileron servos are really not needed, as this is not a 3D plane. The Super Kaos is a time tested design that has zero bad habits. It will land at a walking pace, and do just about anything you ask of it. I have built and flown probably 6 to 10 of them over the past 30 years, with no modifications, I see no need to fully sheet the wing, but it can't hurt. Keep it light and provide good power and it will reward you with many years of enjoynment.

Congrats
